How do you add PostgreSQL Driver as a dependency in Maven

Question

I m trying to develop a Java application with Maven while using Hibernate with a PostgreSQL database for persistence  I don t understand how I m supposed to connect the PostgreSQL drivers to my application  I  get that you add dependencies in Maven s pom xml file  which finds jars from a remote repository  but what about other jars

PostgreSQL drivers jars are included in Central Repository of Maven:

List of included versions of PostgreSQL drivers.

For PostgreSQL up to 9.1, use:

<dependency>
    <groupId>postgresql</groupId>
    <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
    <version>VERSION</version>
</dependency>

or for 9.2+

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
    <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
    <version>VERSION</version>
</dependency>

(Thanks to @Caspar for the correction)

From site PostgreSQL  of date 02 04 2016  https   jdbc postgresql org download html        This is the current version of the driver  Unless you have unusual   requirements  running old applications or JVMs   this is the driver   you should be using  It supports Postgresql 7 2 or newer and requires   a 1 6 or newer JVM  It contains support for SSL and the javax sql   package  If you are using the 1 6 then you should use the JDBC4   version  If you are using 1 7 then you should use the JDBC41 version    If you are using 1 8 then you should use the JDBC42 versionIf you are   using a java version older than 1 6 then you will need to use a JDBC3   version of the driver  which will by necessity not be current

Depending on your PostgreSQL version you would need to add the postgresql driver to your pom xml file    For PostgreSQL 9 1 this would be    lt project xmlns  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0       xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance       xsi schemaLocation  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0 http   maven apache org maven-v4 0 0 xsd  gt        lt name gt Your project name  lt  name gt       lt dependencies gt           lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt postgresql lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt postgresql lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt 9 1-901-1 jdbc4 lt  version gt           lt  dependency gt       lt  dependencies gt   lt  project gt    You can get the code for the dependency  as well as any other dependency  from maven s central repository   If you are using postgresql 9 2     lt project xmlns  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0       xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance       xsi schemaLocation  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0 http   maven apache org maven-v4 0 0 xsd  gt        lt name gt Your project name  lt  name gt       lt dependencies gt           lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt org postgresql lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt postgresql lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt 42 2 1 lt  version gt           lt  dependency gt       lt  dependencies gt   lt  project gt    You can check the latest versions and dependency snippets from    http   mvnrepository com artifact postgresql postgresql http   mvnrepository com artifact org postgresql postgresql
